Mrs. L. F. Badly, of California, is about
to establish a colony OF silk cultursts in
Maryland. A tract of one hundred acres
near Oldenton will be divided among ten
colonists, and by next spring she hopes to

professional singer, but can learn in this
country, if she will work hard, give up
most of the pleasures young people prize,
study dramatic action a. well as singing,
and give her whole time to preparation.

as carefully as her voice. She must eat

Meat to be BOlted, not Eaten.

Mr.. Gladstone is "out of it, again.
Everybody has heard how the late Prime
Minister ascribes his splendid health to
having learned one simple physiological
lesson-namely, to make twenty bites
at every bit of meat. Mr.. Lyttleton has
recorded the fact in his little book on
training, and Sir John Lubbock repeated
it the other day in an address on technical
education. And now there comes phys
iologst F. r. S., who writes to the Times
to say that The pretty little tale is merely
''another illustration OF the great ignO-
rance of natural things in the presence of
high and even wonderful concept,ve facul-
ties" So far from needing twenty five
bites, meat does not need any bites at all.
for it is digested not by the mouth
juices Gas vegetable substances are). but
by the stomach juices. and as the secre-
tons of the mouth are alkaline, whereas
the digestive tluid tor meat is acid, much
mastication actually interferes with diges.
ton So Mr. Gladstone must go to school
again after all and learn the old nursery
saw, 'to bolt the meat but chew the
potatoes. "-PdW Mall Gazette.

which q large, powerfully built Italian
named Louis Caesari was seriously beaten

handled that he had to be removed to his
room in carriage. Yesterday he was
confined to his bed !; his head is one mass
of cuts and his nose ia broken; his ewes
were 80 badly swollen that no was unable

PRINCE CARNIVAL
HOLDS us COURT AT AnloNI1ALI
Last Nights Masquerade tho Most Cor.
Eeous Fancy Dress Spectacle Ever
Seen in the City-A Brief Descrip.
ton OF tho Charming Sights.

The merry carnival season is here with
all Its joyous festivities, and last night the
popular Arion Society celebrated ite
coming in manner never before equaled
in this city. Beyond question tho an.
nual masquerade carnival given by that
organization at It's spacious club house on
the sonth Side, WAS lar ahead Of anything
Of the kind ever attempted here. The at.
tendance amounted to q regular Jam, and
every one was In the best Of humor. The
costumes Of tho maskers were in
a majority Of cases unusually elegant,
nearly all Of them having beon brought
from Philadelphia for the occasion. I, The
comic ones were all departures-they
were original and decidedly unique. The
ladies in costume, without exception, do.
served tho highest praise for the pains
taken to add to tho attractiveness OF the
event. Mr.. Theodore Roller was Prince
Cdrniral, and in opening the affair made
very enjoyable address. II was largely
poetry and contained hits against all the
prominent members Of the Society. 20
The reception committee appeared in
full evening dress; the floor committee
looked handsome In costumes Of tho Louis
XIV period. Masks were not removed un.
til II o'clock, and then there WAS season
Of surpriaes. Kramer furnished tho
music and 1t was bowildering sight
to watch from the crowded gallery the
floor below filled with the moving maaque.
raiders, arrayed in every color Of the
rainbow and in the costumes OF all Ma.
tionalities, as they kept time to the lovely
music. It is an actual fact that all con.
ceiyable characters wore represented from
BartholdpaI Liberty, charming impersona.
ton, down to black Topsy, and from Old
Father Time down to the 1.-TWO Johns
who were immensely funny. The
Arion's masquerade carnival Of 1857 will
never be forgotten by those who we're
there, and It will probably be long time
before its gorgsousness md ita complete
ness in every detail will be equalled in
this city. ls1ot- 1JrHg-,..
